A very nice exhibition of line and color, but the motion aspect is a little too subtle for me.

The lines in this remind me of feathers, or perhaps petals on a flower. This is suffciently blurred to be interesting and not so much that it's a mess. Great job.

I like this. Looks like a colour chart the way the spectrum develops across the frame.
